This is what I do : 1º have a robots.txt file in the root containg: User-agent: * Disallow: /noBots.cfm
Any well behave robot should ignore file /noBots.cfm 2º hide a link to noBots.cfm somewhere in all pages like in div having style set to "display:none" ie : <DIV STYLE="display: none;"><A href="\noBot.cfm">Site Map</A></DIV> Only robots can see this page, and if they open it, then they are not compliant and BAD robots. 3º in the noBot.cfm page, you can register all charasteristics about the IP address, and HTTP_USER_AGENT value. From now on, you can return any insult you want page directly from the application.cfm any time the crap is identified. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
